              <text>The steam unfurls, a lazy, white-gray ghost,&#13;
carrying the scent of what is held most—&#13;
the quiet hour, the table set for two,&#13;
the empty space that now is filled by you.&#13;
A mug, a porcelain planet, warm in hand,&#13;
holds secrets brewed in some forgotten land.&#13;
But your story is the richness in the pot,&#13;
a memory of a time and a forgotten spot.&#13;
The clink of spoon, a bell to start the tale,&#13;
of journeys taken, and a sunlit trail.&#13;
Your words pour out, the color of the brew,&#13;
a bitter truth, a flavor, sharp and new.&#13;
The face is watched, the shifting of the light,&#13;
as you recount a distant, vivid night.&#13;
The sugar stirred, a sweeter, softer turn,&#13;
on lessons learned and bridges that have burned.&#13;
The cup grows cool, the final chapters told,&#13;
a narrative more precious than fine gold.&#13;
And all that's left is stillness, in the air,&#13;
and the quiet comfort of a story shared.</text>
